God I want this game to come out. I know my friends, and I know that 90% of our games will end with us bumping planets and seeing who survives.

I agree though that the paypal thing is weird, I think it's safe to say that the game is being made regardless. I hope the mod support is robust and well documented. Also the idea of a literal 24 hour game sounds insane, but at the same time kind of neat if it's like a one day tourney sort of thing with some kind of leaderboard or "king of the universe" thing.
